Sooo.... Work has given me a budget of $2700 to spend on a laptop with the only requirement of having a docking station, ideally with 2 DVI outputs (we are all dual or triple monitors) and having SSD.

So dear overclock'ers does anybody have any recommendations? I have looked all over the Lenovo, Dell and HP site and have only come up with gaming laptops with crappy docking stations that I know won't be accepted.

And if thats not bad enought I've only been given 1 day to decide... ahhhh!

Maybe try Asus, Dell or Alienware. I know that hp arent exactly known for their gaming laptops, although some of their docking stations are fantastic.

Yeah, a Gaming laptop aint hard to find with that budget, but without a docking station its going to be a ***** to pitch to the brass (and probably piss me off in the long run).

So if anybody is interested I basically went all over the net looking for gaming laptops and comparing the graphics cards and specs.

Here is my choice:

Dell Studio XPS 16 (N03X6502)
* Intel Core i7 820QM (1.73Ghz, 8MB cache)
* 16" Full HD to Edge Display (1920x1080)
* 8GB Dual-Channel DDR3 SDRAM (1.333 MHz)
* 128GB Solid State SATA Drive
* 1GB ATI Radeon HD 4670
* Kensington Expansion VGA Dock

If anybody has any recommendations on a better docking station, I'd love to hear it (especially a 2xVideo one). It seems like you need to go for a USB universal docking station for anything with a decent graphics card
